Hike #1 of 5 of the PHX5 Phoenix Summit Challenge. This trail has been in the summit challenge every year that I've done it. It's a nice easy start of the day. It was still dark at the 6:00am start. Once we got to the overlook it was light enough that we could turn off our headlamps. Got there early enough to find parking pretty close to the start. When we got back to the lot it was pretty full with lots of cars driving around.
